I have "strange" warning in console, when running winecfg:


This is my new box with GeForce 8600 GT. Wine is 0.9.55, from winehq repositories. I have installed nvidia drivers. Error persist in Ubuntu 7.10 and Debian Etch. I want optimal video acceleration in order to test some games.

Any idea what is wrong ?

Does glxgears work?

Which nvidia driver?

Often OpenGL failures are due to a mismatch between
the nividia driver and the kernel.
Try reinstalling the nvidia driver just to make sure it matches.

Is there a terminal command you can type in to give you the version of the drivers?

(fyi, I know which version I installed, but was just wondering if there was an easy way of checking).

Yes, it's
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
but it won't really help. That won't tell you if
there's a mismatch with your kernel.

This is kind of out of scope for the wine-users mailing list, or at
least beyond my ken.
To get more help, be sure to say exactly how you
installed the nvidia drivers.

glxinfo | grep -i version

I used an magic sidux script to install drivers. It scans card, download latest driver, bekup and configure xorg.conf. Everything so far work perfect - nvidia logo, nvidia-settings, videos.







In Ubuntu driver is older and work (at least now). Anyway if sgfxi is the problem I will install driver manually. Just want to be sure it's not something trivial before mess up everything.



Indeed. But glxgears was good point. Now I know what to looking for.
Thanks!

Edit:

I solve it! Just run #sgfxi to rebuild driver. Apparently latest Debian kernel update disrupt driver.
